Significado
Everything is relaxed.
Contexto cultural
In cities like Oslo and Bergen, 'chill' is used by almost everyone under 40. It reflects a move away from traditional formality. In smaller villages, older people might still prefer 'ta det med ro' or 'det ordner seg.' Using 'chill' might mark you as a 'byas' (city person). The 'chill' attitude is part of the flat hierarchy in Norwegian offices, but it has limits. You can be chill with your colleagues, but usually not with clients. For Norwegian teens, 'chill' is often paired with 'ass' (short for 'altså') for emphasis.
The 'Ass' Add-on
Add 'ass' at the end ('Det er chill, ass') to sound like a true local. It adds a layer of casual emphasis.
Don't over-inflect
Remember, 'chill' doesn't change to 'chilt' or 'chille' when used as an adjective. Keep it simple!
